The Hamelin Plague

It's Not Human! It began with a few small items in the newspapers-dead dogs and cats, a mutilated child, a series of unexplained fires. Then, suddenly, it exploded into a full-sized catastrophe.

Long Synopsis:

It's Not Human! It began with a few small items in the newspapers-dead dogs and cats, a mutilated child, a series of unexplained fires. Then, suddenly, it exploded into a full-sized catastrophe. Huge mutants-half rat, half man-began to take over the world, stealing children for laves and destroying while cities and their populations. Only a few people escaped, among them Tim Barrett, his wife Jane, and a handful of survivors. Alone on the high seas in a small ship, they set off to find the island where Dr. Theodore Piper ahd been experimenting with a sonic death ray. They knew Dr. Piper was their only hope for personal and world survival-if he was still alive . . if the King Rats hadn't forced him to serve their evil purpose . . . and if he could find a way to stop the spreading horror of invasion.
